PARTLY FACETIOUS: PM, establishment may not be on the same page

“I am afraid I didn’t believe Maryam Nawaz’s version of events.”

“How dare you! Are you a closet Khanzadeh! Let me tell you that…”

“Hear me out please.”

“To me what you said is unforgivable and…”

“Have you forgotten what she said on television with respect to none of her siblings having any property abroad…”

“You know that Hussain and Hassan – they don’t take her into confidence and…”

”Don’t be facetious, you know as well as I that she is not only the brightest but also the prettiest amongst the progeny and daddy takes her into confidence on all matters – political, financial and family and…”

“Right so what is it that she said that you don’t believe?”

“The Lady is into declared loyalty to daddy by all members of the party – Uncle Shahbaz, Uncle Khawaja Asif, Uncle….”

“That’s how members of all political parties function – and I include The Khan’s party members in this…”

“Alright so the norm – now for her to say that Khawaja Asif told her that he was offered blanket amnesty by the powers that be in return for dumping Nawaz Sharif doesn’t ring true for two reasons. First The Khan hates Khawaja Asif for the words he uttered in 2015 on the floor of the House against the PTI – about not having any sharam and haya implying lack of ethics and modesty and…”

“So?”

“So I reckon while The Khan and the establishment may not be on same page as far as say Shabaz Sharif and Son may be concerned but The Khan would definitely do a Khan yet again by staying home if the two were not on the same page as far as Khawaja Asif is concerned…”

“Hmmmm I get you….well it does appear to have some logic – I mean like Brutus said after assassinating Caesar – it’s not as if I loved Caesar less but that I loved Rome more.”

“Right it’s not as if The Khan hates Shahbaz less, though some sources maintain that he was against the Shahbaz-Durrani meeting, but he hates Khawaja Asif above all else.”

“Even The Maulana?”

“OK maybe the two are up there together…”
